After years of procrastination I finally decided I am going to start a workout regimen and stick to it. After having a gym membership that has gone to waste for 7 months I decided I needed more of a 'kick in the butt', so I hired a personal trainer. I was given a 7 day Fruit and Vegetable Detox.
A detox is a strict diet for a short period of time that is supposed to have a very effective outcome for the body. With this detox for 7 days I can not have sugar, bread, caffeine, or meat of any kind. The list of vegetables and fruit I am given is all I can eat. I can only eat 3 servings of fruit a day, but ALL the veggies I want. The ending result of this detox is to rid the digestive system of harmful toxins from years of processed foods, alcohol, medicines, etc. In nearly all cases people who do a strict detox lose pounds of water weight, gain energy, and improve overall digestion. Doing a detox does have certain side-effects such as: Headaches, sore muscles, irritability, fatigue and being physically weak.
My Experience:
I began my detox on Sunday, December 5. It has been two days and I have experienced headaches, irritability, and fatigue. While this is not an easy experience, especially with all the temptations and cravings I am determined to see it through and see how well it works for me.
